Abstract
The object of the paper is to explain the sharp decline in Indonesia's growth rate since 1981 compared with the period before 1981. It is argued that the slow growth of the later penod was mainly due to the net effect of investment, the government's domestic budget deficit and imports in depressing domestic demand, reflected in turn in a slower growth of money supply. These demand policies were followed to deal with the deteriorating balance of payments situation. Therefore, some alternative policies are suggested for dealing with this situation which will not have adverse effects on economic growth.
